The SAT and ACT college entrance exams are taken by thousands of students each year. The mathematics portions of each of these exams produce scores that are approximately normally distributed. In recent years, SAT mathematics exam scores have averaged 480 with standard deviation 100. The average and standard deviation for ACT mathematics scores are 18 and 6, respectively. (a) An engineering school sets 560 as the minimum SAT math score for new students. What percentage of students will score below 560 in a typical year

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

78.814%

Step-by-step explanation:

mean,  = 480 points.

standard deviation, σ = 100 points.

If 560 is the minimum score, x = 560. We want the % of students who will score BELOW that. Use the formula for z-scores: [tex]z = \frac{x-u}{standard deviation}[/tex] to get the z score: (560-480)/(100) = 0.8.

Using a z-score table: the value under 0.8 is 78.814%.

Always
Sometimes or
Never

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes. Say x = 3 and y = 4. 3 + 4 = 7, 3 - 4 = -1. However, the subtraction problem can be greater than the addition if you add some negatives into the mix. Say x = 3 and y = -4. 3 + (-4) is the same as subtracting 4, which give you -1. However, when you subtract negative four, it's the same as adding four, which gives you seven.

A foreign-car dealer with warehouses in New York and Baltimore receives orders from dealers in Philadelphia and Trenton. The dealer would to minimize the shipping cost. The dealer in Philadelphia needs 3 cars and the dealer in Trenton needs 8. The New York warehouse has 5 cars and the Baltimore warehouse has 9. The cost of shipping cars from Baltimore to Philadelphia is $120 per car, from Baltimore to Trenton $90 per car, from New York to Philadelphia $100 per car, and from New York to Trenton $70 per car. Let x be the number of cars shipped from Baltimore to Trenton, and y be the number of cars shipped from Baltimore to Philadelphia. 5. Write the six inequalities associated with this problem.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x \ge 0[/tex]  

[tex]y \ge 0[/tex]

[tex]x + y \le 9[/tex]

[tex]8 - x \ge 0[/tex]

[tex]3 - y \ge 0[/tex]

[tex](8 - x) + (3 - y) \le 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = Cars from Baltimore to Trenton

y = Cars from Baltimore to Philadelphia

Required

Write out 6 inequalities

First, 0 or more cars must be shipped to both locations

So:

[tex]x \ge 0[/tex]

[tex]y \ge 0[/tex]

Considering the warehouse in Baltimore.

(1) The warehouse can not ship more than the number of car it has (9).

So:

[tex]x + y \le 9[/tex]

Considering the warehouse in New York.

(1) After shipping cars to Trenton and Philadelphia, the warehouse will have 0 or more cars.

So:

[tex]8 - x \ge 0[/tex] --- To Trenton

[tex]3 - y \ge 0[/tex] --- To Philadelphia

(2) The warehouse cannot send out more than 6.

So:

[tex](8 - x) + (3 - y) \le 6[/tex]

So, the inequalities are:

[tex]x \ge 0[/tex]

[tex]y \ge 0[/tex]

[tex]x + y \le 9[/tex]

[tex]8 - x \ge 0[/tex]

[tex]3 - y \ge 0[/tex]

[tex](8 - x) + (3 - y) \le 6[/tex]

A marketing research consultant for a hotel chain hypothesizes that men and women differ in their color preference for guest rooms. The consultant shows pictures of rooms decorated with three different color scheme to each person in a random sample of 110 men and to each person in a random sample of 90 women. The consultant asks each person to choose his or her favorite color scheme. A chi-square test for homogeneity of proportions will be used to test the consultant’s hypothesis. Assuming that the conditions for inference are met, which of the following statements is true for the test?
A. The null hypothesis for the test is that the proportion of each gender who prefer each color scheme is
B. The sample size is too small to detect a significant difference in a chi-square test for homogeneity of proportions
C. The test is not valid because the sample sizes are not equal
D. The more that men and women differ in their color preferences, the larger the chi-square statistic will be
E. The test would also be appropriate if 90 married couples had been used for the two samples.

A soda bottling plant uses automated filling machines to fill 2-liter bottles with soda. The plant can produce 8000 bottles of soda in an 8-hour shift. The plant’s quality manager wants to determine how well the process is operating. He takes a sample of 100 bottles from the bottling line and determines that on an average, each bottle contains 2.07 liters of soda, with a standard deviation of 0.06 liters. The specification limits for a bottle of soda are 2.1 liters and 1.9 liters

Answers

Answer:

0.6892 = 68.92% of bottles are within specification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

On average, each bottle contains 2.07 liters of soda, with a standard deviation of 0.06 liters.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2.07, \sigma = 0.06[/tex]

The plant’s quality manager wants to determine how well the process is operating.

To do this, we find the proportion of bottles within specification.

The specification limits for a bottle of soda are 2.1 liters and 1.9 liters

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2.1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1.9. So

X = 2.1

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{2.1 - 2.07}{0.06}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6915.

X = 1.9

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1.9 - 2.07}{0.06}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.83[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.83[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0023

0.6915 - 0.0023 = 0.6892

0.6892 = 68.92% of bottles are within specification.

Arrange the steps in the correct order to prove the theorem "If A and B are sets, A is uncountable, and A ⊆ B, then B is uncountable." Rank the options below.

a. Since A is a subset of B, taking the subsequence of {bn} that contains the terms that are in A gives a listing of the elements of A.
b. Thus B is not countable.
c. The elements of B can be listed as b1, b2, b3
d. Therefore A is countable, contradicting the hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to rank the options given in the question to correctly prove the theorem that: "If A & B are set, and A is a subset of B"

To arrange the steps in the correct order, we have:

(a) Assume that B is countable

(b) The elements of B can be listed as b1, b2, b3

(c) Since A is a subset of B, taking the subsequence of {bn} that contains the terms that are in A gives a listing of the elements of A.

(d) Therefore A is countable, contradicting the hypothesis.

(e)  Thus B is not countable

Answers

Answer:

Y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the sine rule to solve this.  The sine rule states that:

Sin(a) / A = Sin(b) / B = Sin(c) = C

In other words the sine of the angle in any corner in a triangle, divided by the length of the opposite side, will be equal to that of the other two sides as well.  

In this case, we can take the ratio between the sine of the right angle, and each of our hypotenuses, and state them as equal, giving us the solution:

sin(90) / (5y + 13) = sin(90) / 6y

1 / (5y + 13) = 1 / 6y

5y + 13 = 6y

6y - 5y = 13

y = 13
